Largest patch ever?
« Reply #30 on: December 16, 2002, 09:56:54 PM »
For one thing you do not see me posting and crying in this forum.  I waited for this patch along with the squad I belong to in anticipaition that this would be a welcome change from the burnout we were suffering.  I know HT will fix the problems, but from the 6 month stretch of not seeing anything new added this was a disappointment in my eyes.  If you can't accept what I feel and think no problem.  I just voice my opinion, sorry if I didn't jump on the WOW WTFG band wagon like some other notables that float around this So called BBS.  

I have been around this game for quite sometime now, the one positive thing I see is the addition of multiple structures for the buff pilots, which I have yet to see.  Tigers taking hits that go right through them and hit on other side, stukas winning in Ho's, manned acks killing you even though they are down just to name a few.  I don't understand the choices of the palnes that were added.  the stuka is arguably the only one I can agree with.  Where are the rockets for the FW-190 F8???????  Now that we have a 1800 KG bomb will this be added for the Ar-234 and the 190F8?  Just really frustrated right now.  Take it how you want to.

well, I for one am glad that HT continue to improve the quality of gameplay at the expense of bowing to every single wish for a new plane or vehicle. fixing bugs & making improvements that we dont nessesarily see makes it more enjoyable for the majority & less frustrating. I have had a few minor problems with setup & j/stick control which the guys from HT responded to quickly & helped fix. I say thanks guys & keep up the good work.:cool:

Sach, I think I know what you meant, and I guess it is a large patch more than it is a big expansion pak or whatever with lotsa planes and new maps. However, you said you are 'pissed' which is quite laughable, I mean come on. How could you be actual upset about a patch?

I think it's a good post though because it should be brought up that players really like to SEE something in a update. Code smoothing isn't as obvious as say new maps. A new map would go a long way in getting people excited about a new release, with minimal effort in comparison to say the connection stuff ironically. Why not just include a new map?

The new P51 is a great example of eye candy. It looks so damn good that you know you got a update. ( Very interesting idea on the planes -aper- btw. I really hope they would opt to just redo all the planes like the P51 with real guages and layouts though, and maybe turn down the green in the arena. The P51 is as good as I'd need for graphics. )

Oh, and your sig is stupid.

Ok, here's my stupid whine for the night...

HT, it's taking me too long to download the new patch even with my cablemodem, so I am being denied the opportunity to really whine properly about the new patch. Could you pretty please kick off all the LA7 dweebs so I can download it more quickly? I figure that should eliminate most of the bishes as well, thus creating both bandwidth and sidebalancing in one fell-swoop.

Gimmeee the patch, waaaaahhhhh.

Nice points, Angus

Just find it comical that the beta team didnt catch the 800 x 600 bug?

I love new versions like anyone else.  I just wish the bugs were hard to spot.  I like that lemony-fresh polished smell I guess ;)

I was hoping for the Ki.84.  I didn't get it, but its all good.  Maybe it'll come in 1.12 or 1.13.

The Tiger I rocks and the P-51D is gorgeous.

Nice work HTC

I think the best part of this patch is the net work smoothing code. I didnt see a single plane warp when I got in close tonight. Eye candy is nice, but not at the expense of gameplay :)

Nice job on the patch HTC, look forward to the next one :)


Sachs....the manned ack bug was fixed VERY rapidly by HTC. No one is perfect, but not many are better than HTC about jumping in and fixing bugs that get introduced with a new patch :)

When building anything......the foundation must be sound.  This not only includes building architecture, but software architecture you plan to build upon.  If the footers is faulty....the building will suffer damage.  Same applies to software coding.  New version looks good to me.

What a extaordinarily daft post.

A huge part of their work has had to be post-poned to the next version, i.e. the mission theatre. I hardly think they've been sitting on their collective arses these last few months.
